Excerpt from Picturesque Maine
One of the most intelligent of the old pioneers told Thoreau that the lumbermen still found, here and there in the remotest forests, tall oaken crosses, which were set up by the first roman-catholic missionaries, journeyn from Quebec to evangelize the wild tribes of interior Maine. These lonely symbols of faith must be the oldest monuments of Euro pean Civilization in the State, for the dauntless black-robed chiefs established missions here not far from 1610. Along the margin of the sea, on high promontories or surf-beaten islands, are remnants of for gotten fortresses and villages, Norse, French, Dutch, or English, min gled with mementos of an Older Civilization, whose source the antiquaries cannot even conjecture.
